Input these and press “Graph.” This is my original triangle that I graphed. I translated, reflected, and rotated it until my final vertices ended up at: point 1 (7, -10); point 2 (9, -8); and point 3 (7, -6). It is your job to figure out exactly what I did. Play around with the graph and see if you can figure it out. If you need to get back to the original graph go back to step 2 above and follow the directions. Answer the questions below. These can also help you figure out the order I did stuff to the graph and how many things I did. When you think you have figured it out, please try to work through it from start to finish to make sure that you have the correct answer. Your final grade will be based on how far away your directions get me from the actual answer. I will find the distance each point of your answer’s triangle is from the correct answer’s triangle and subtract that from 100.

This is a blended resource class for special education students that will help them learn the vocabulary and skills to be successful in their team-collaborative math classes. Instruction and activities are tied to standards being taught in the regular math class but are not designed to teach mastery of standards.
1) Log into USA TestPrep and watch the two video lessons about permutations and combinations. Answer the comprehension questions on the right of the screen, select my name, and click the submit button. Do this for both videos (School ID: villarica, User Name: Little Timmy Password: practice. Students will have individual names and passwords)
2) Print two copies of this Frayer Model. Write "permutation" in the middle of one and "combination" in the middle of the other. Watch this slideshow.. Be sure to turn on your reading software if you need to. As you watch the slide. Complete the Frayers. In class, compare Frayers with a peer for accuracy. Discuss any differences that you may have. Keep the Frayers in the reference section of your notebook for your regular math class.
3) Watch this demonstration of how to use the IT-30XS Multiview calculator to calculate permutations, combinations, and factorials. Here are calculator keystrokes that you can print out and take with you to your regular math class. The printout should be kept in the calculator section of your notebook for your regular math class.
Create a PowerPoint, poster, or other illustration demonstrating real-world examples of permutations and combinations. The project must include a clear and complete definition (in your words) of permutation and combination. At least five real-life examples of each must be described and illustrated. Your project must be neat, organized and creative. If you choose an electronic project, you may post it on the class Wiki page. If you create a poster or other product, you should turn it in during class on or before the due date.
Here is the rubric for the permutation/combination project.
Please complete this test that covers permutations and combinations. Review you Frayers and keystrokes before you take the test.

Your voice thread comment and responses will be graded using our class rubric click here
MCC9‐12.G.CO.1 Know precise definitions of angle, circle, perpendicular line, parallel line, and line segment, based on the undefined notions of point, line, distance along a line, and distance around a circular arc.
MCC9‐12.G.CO.2 Represent transformations in the plane using, e.g., transparencies and geometry software; describe transformations as functions that take points in the plane as inputs and give other points as outputs. Compare transformations that preserve distance and angle to those that do not (e.g., translation versus horizontal stretch).
MCC9‐12.G.CO.3 Given a rectangle, parallelogram, trapezoid, or regular polygon, describe the rotations and reflections that carry it onto itself.
MCC9‐12.G.CO.4 Develop definitions of rotations, reflections, and translations in terms of angles, circles, perpendicular lines, parallel lines, and line segments.
MCC9-12.G.CO.5 Given a geometric figure and a rotation, reflection, or translation, draw the transformed figure using, e.g., graph paper, tracing paper, or geometry software. Specify a sequence of transformations that will carry a given figure onto another.
1) Students, you will complete the task from CCGPS entitled “ Introduction to Reflections, Translations, and Rotations” in class with a partner or small group. You will take the task home to finish it and it will be grades based up the following rubric.
2) Students, navigate to the following website:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dEJhWFdra0tGTlQ5YllKUGljeDI3OHc6MQ

1) Under "New Polygon" and "How many vertices?" Input 3 and click “Go”.
2) The coordinates for point 1 are (1,1). The coordinates for point 2 are (3,3). The coordinates for point 3 are (5,1). Input these and press “Graph.”
This is my original triangle that I graphed. I translated, reflected, and rotated it until my final vertices ended up at:
point 1 (7, -10); point 2 (9, -8); and point 3 (7, -6). It is your job to figure out exactly what I did. Play around with the graph and see if you can figure it out. If you need to get back to the original graph go back to step 2 above and follow the directions.
Answer the questions below. These can also help you figure out the order I did stuff to the graph and how many things I did. When you think you have figured it out, please try to work through it from start to finish to make sure that you have the correct answer.
Your final grade will be based on how far away your directions get me from the actual answer. I will find the distance each point of your answer’s triangle is from the correct answer’s triangle and subtract that from 100.

Angela Burgess
Grades 9-12, French 1
H. Use sequenced information, such as the alphabet, days of the week, months, seasons, and numbers 0 to 100 in context.
The student will demonstrate knowledge of the French alphabet by correctly writing 5 words as spelled by the teacher and by correctly spelling 5 words as provided by the teacher.
1. View //this VoiceThread presentation of the French alphabet// and follow the instructions given throughout the presentation (be sure to complete the LAST instruction!!).
2. Complete these online practice activities identifying letters of the French alphabet:
- Practice the sounds of the alphabet again //here//.
- Practice hearing and typing the letters using Quizlet: //Speller//
- Play //this Rags to Riches game// until you get all the way to the top. Think logically before responding!
- Click on “Joue”, then select the letter indicated each time in this game from Boowa & Kwala.
- Practice one more time before the quiz using this activity from Le Point de FLE.
- When you feel ready, take this Quia quiz. It is multiple choice. You may take it as many times as you like. When you are happy with your score, print out your score and turn it in.
3. Work with your partner to practice spelling vocabulary words in French from4. Complete this online practice activity to type a series of letters by listening to the letters said. BEWARE: These series of letters do not spell anything, so it is hard to predict what the letter will be.
Section 1 of the quiz is an oral activity completed in the digital language lab. Each student will be given a list of 5 words from the Vocab 1.1 list or cognates. When told to begin, they will spell each word in French. There are 3 different sets of words to discourage cheating.
Section 2 of the quiz may be completed online or in class. The teacher will spell 5 words from the Vocab 1.1 list or cognates. Students will record each letter as it is said. For administering the quiz online, I will record myself spelling each of the words and students will complete a cloze activity in which they type the letters. Each student will get 5 randomly selected words. In class, students will all get the same five words and will write those words down as I spell them out loud to the class.
Each of the 3 versions of the quiz rotates the lists from Section 1 into Section 2. So Version A uses Version C's Section 1 as Section 2. Version B uses Version A's Section 1 as Section 2. Version C uses Version B's Section 1 as Section 2.
The student will use a balloon, water bottle, baking soda and vinegar to conduct a science experiment and write a reflection to demonstrate understanding with 80% or highter accuracy based on the rubric provided.
The student will demonstrate his/her understnading of ways to change objects by creating a video and commenting on classmates videos with 80% or higher accuracy based on the rubric provided.
You will be assessed based on the following rubrics.
